President Donald Trump made a prediction about the GOP's control of the Senate at a fundraiser this week,
"I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough," Trump said, according to an attendee who shared the President's comments on condition of anonymity with the Post. "There are a couple senators I can't really get involved in. I just can't do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can't help some of them. I don't want to help some of them."
Trump's comments were made at a closed-door gathering held in Nashville, Tennessee, before the last presidential debate, according to the Post, where he said that he thinks the GOP will "take back the House."
Hours after the Post released its story, Trump told reporters that he hopes the GOP maintains control of the Senate.
"I hope to hold the Senate, we do. I think from a presidential standpoint we're winning a lot of states including this one. I think we're doing very well here. The crowd is certainly enthusiastic. I hope that we do. I think we're gonna take back the House because people are tired of Nancy Pelosi..."
Trump's comments come at a time when Republicans in tight down-ballot races, who had hoped to ride the President's coattails to victory, have little desire to align with him. Several influential Republicans have pleaded with Trump to abruptly change his tactics in the final two weeks to zero-in on an economic message, stop downplaying the coronavirus pandemic and to quit launching attacks against his public health experts -- namely Dr. Anthony Fauci.
... President at times has even seemed to not be interested in saving members of his own party. In Maine, Trump has gone after endangered GOP Sen. Susan Collins...

Sure it will be tough.
Politics is tough.
Freepers...please...don’t fall for fake news.
CNN + unnamed sources? Hmmm...
according to an attendee
okay
well so many RINOs
No worries for Lou Dopey-Dobbs who said NOT to vote for Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
Eff off Kelly
yep, this is fake news to try to piss off senators before the Supreme Court vote.
Not that I believe CNN’s claims (which are usually ‘anonymously’ sourced lies), but what’s President Trump supposed to say to donors? ‘We have this election wrapped up, its a piece of cake’ vs. ‘we’re in a serious battle - please send as much money as you can’.
My heart was filled with relief after reading this was from CNN.
2022 is the time to start the new party not now. We still need many of these rino aholes.
Trump didn’t go to Maine to save Collins. He went to Maine to get one of its electoral votes. It could be a difference maker.
He’s rallying the base. “Don’t get complacent...”
Exactly.
I can’t stand Graham.
I hope he wins reelection.
Fake
and lame-o.
Why are you constantly doing what you can to turn people against Trump?
Your whole posting history is full of it and you are constantly posting threads like this.
DU would be happy to accommodate you, you know.
Why don’t you go post this crap over there?
Trump is simply owning the downside. There’s no need to panic folks. There were Trump supporters in Beverly Hills, CA. FRICKING BEVERLY HILLS. States like MN, ME, even NY and CA are now in play for POTUS.
That is the problem WE ALL have been praying for damn DECADES for ANYONE to stand up and fight for us, WELL here comes Trump, and you know what, Americans have seen what it is like for someone to take a stand and FIGHT for our country they are DONE with the RINOS stabbing Trump in the back they did it to themselves if they lose!! These damn RINOS have blocked Trump at EVERY turn THEN they have the audacity to distance themselves from him THEY STILL DONT GET IT!! They have all been in DC to long plain and simple!!!
Does anyone think that it is ever easy to control the Senate, especially with the prissy, nervous Nellie Republicans candidates.
